Are you for real? We should buy a game just because? That's asinine. I get SO sick of this argument. We're talking about EA here. The one company that would stomp out all competition if it could. The one company that has attempted to lock out competitors in every sport it's ever developed. But forget that - if they made a game that looked like Atari, should we buy it for the same reasons? Look, you do what you feel is right. Me - I bought it because I'm just that curious and I would like a change of pace. But this will be my ONLY Live if it doesn't get better fast.

If you watch the 2K CPU vs. CPU videos that Sports Gaming Universe posted, you will see many possessions where the spacing is not so good. Players crowd each other, they run to inappropriate spots on the floor, they get in each other's way, they move without purpose, etc. Whereas in Live, they stay out of each other's way and generally fill out the floor properly. Right now it's a bit bare-bones but I expect to see more motion once DNA is implemented, for off-ball tendencies such as "Cut To Basket" and so on. But as of right now Live 14 clearly has the more fundamentally sound spacing.

I...I don't get it. How can anyone look at Live and 2K, and honestly think that Live looks better? It's utterly insane.

And weren't you the same poster who thought Live 13 looked good? Even the developers knew it was complete crap and canceled it, yet there you were talking about how good it looks.

EA fanboys baffle me. Blindly defending a corporate company that half asses it every year with Madden and Live....smh.

This? This?! This... This looks terrible. I haven't seen anything in that gameplay that would make me want to pay $60 for it. This doesn't look like an authentic or "sim" representation of basketball. Animations look robotic, commentary is terrible. No dialogue between JVG and Mike Breen, and that's sad. They have one of the better in game analysis and dialogue, yet that is barely present here. I wasn't expecting much from this game to begin with, so it's about where I thought it'd be. I don't see this solid foundation I've been reading about. I'll try the demo on Tuesday when it's available to give it a real chance, but after seeing this, I'm not expecting anything to change my opinion.

Said this in another thread, but it applies here as well. After looking at this again muted.. it's clear that even without running any plays, the cpu AI doesn't move at all. Theres no attempts to set screens, pnr's when their on offense. No defensive sets, dub teams on star players. Just lots of standing watching the ballhandler.

Griffin warps into an intentional foul in the 4th vid around 8:12 mark. There were others but odd movements hamper this game.

warping to a spot on the floor has always been apart of this series that is nothing new and once synergy is installed that will fix player movement in this game.

You guys act like the players are suppose to be able to set picks and run PnR's without synergy being functional yet.

The Synergy engine is going to cure all that has ever been wrong with NBA Live since 2006.

Unfortunately these videos sum up exactly what I thought the final product will be, im sorry but anyone who thinks that this game is Next-Gen is kidding themselves, EA Sports just wanted a piece of the pie and thats it. Graphics are terrible, the gameplay is stale & honestly doesn't flow like an NBA game, players just appear to be standing around watching the dribbler majority of the time. Let's face the facts EA you weren't ready to come back, the competition stepped back, hit the jumper, then walked over you like Iverson over Tyronn Lue smh

And when it doesn't fix the player movement? What can be blamed then?

Synergy will fix a lot of the issues I have with the video. For example, I don't expect Emeka Okafor to be taking 20 shots a game once DNA is in. I don't expect the Suns to be going to the post so often, and I expect both teams will run more P n' Rs.
